With the dramatic increase in the cost of steel, many companies are finding that polyester strapping provides the same performance as steel strapping but at a fraction of the cost. As of August 2004, companies are saving up to 78 percent by converting to polyester strapping. To ensure the best performance from polyester strapping, be sure to check out the full line of application equipment and accessories, including seals, hand tools, power strapping machines and dispensers.
Polyester is the most rigid of all strapping materials. Polyester is nick resistant and can be sealed with seals, heat, or friction welds. Polyester offers the greatest strength and highest retained tension of all plastic strapping, it is frequently used on heavy duty loads that need high initial tension along with high retained tension during handling and storage.
